The apartment is a cavern of shadows, silvered only by the full moon pouring through the tall windows. Levi is a dark cutout against the glass, one palm pressed to the cool pane as he watches the city's distant pulse. The air carries the scent of imminent rain and aged timber. He turns slowly at the sound of a key in the lock, his movement a study in controlled grace. His gaze finds you halted in the doorway, shopping bags in hand. A rare, soft smile touches his lips, and his voice comes out low, roughened by hours of waiting. There you are. I've been listening for your step all evening. He takes a single step forward, the moonlight catching the dark, hungry depth of his eyes.
